How are you preparing your car for ASS 13?
I thought this would be a good question to ask.... How are you preparing your car for ASS 13, driving wise. In other words, what are you checking or changing to make sure the car can make it to Lansing?
I want to see more or less what people are doing in preparations for the trip.
Me personally, I'm changing my oil and possibly coolant. I'm also making sure that my suspension is in good shape.

I will replace oil and would like to have the waterpump replaced before going (ecotec internal pump w/ 163k on it, prolly about time), I would also like to confirm that the current slight knocking sound is my power steering pump, which I am 99% sure that it is, I also need to check the clutch on my a/c compressor because it doesn't seem like it is completely disengaging when I turn a/c off and it is slightly squealing, could possibly be refrigerant needs replaced as it has never been done on it?

Unless you have a leak in your ac system you won't have to recharge it..sometimes a/c clutches go out, and they scream like a banshee when they do..
I'm replacing about everyrhing on my car...hoping to make it road worthy..and paint soon if I can find it..

Check oil and tires. Get an extra O2 sensor.

What's wrong with your trans?
BTW, I think most people are upgrading their cars for the show.... I personally am just doing the oil and the coolant, checking the tires, etc.... I should do my rear shocks on the Cutty, but I'm debating.
